I’d like to automatically upload all my Zoom recordings, both mp4 video and mp3 audio file, to a specific Google Drive folder. I’ve followed all the instructions in this article but it only allows me to upload a text file with the download URL, not the audio/video file itself. How can I make the Zap to automatically upload the recorded files itself to the folder just as it is displayed in the article?

Hi rok99,
I’m Pavel from Zapier Support and I’ll do my best to assist you with this.
When download URL-s are being passed to File fields in Zapier, the URL needs to be public. If access to the URL is private, then Zapier will not be able to fetch the file.
The issue you’re experiencing (where the URL is uploaded as a text file) happens when the URL is invalid or inaccessible.
If the download URL of the file is private, can you make it public and try again to see if the file will be uploaded correctly?
Hi PavelZ, thank you for answering. I have “Allow cloud recording sharing” turned on on my Zoom settings. Do you know if there is anything else I should modify to make the recording file public?
Hi rok99,
To start, in the Sharing settings of the recording, you’ll want to set the access to Everyone with the recording link. In addition to that, you’ll want to ensure that passcode is disabled.
You can find more details on sharing recordings in Zoom here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067567
Let me know if I can assist further.
This has been solved. Thank you PavelZ.
That’s awesome
